Dude, chill. Just because he can score doesn't mean he can't assist too. You haven't been watching Rose, Parker, Westbrook, Williams or Paul have you? Scoring point guards are where it is at. If you can score it suddenly becomes 10 times easier to assist as well. BTW, Jason Terry is a shooting gaurd.

Damian Lillard is the clear choice at #6. This is a point guard dominated league, and the Blazers have been an exercise in futility trying to get a dominant point guard the last several seasons. Oshley comes from a Chris Paul team. Portland is gun shy of bigs after Oden. Given all of that, the choice is pretty clear. Drummond can't shoot. In the end, its the team with the most baskets that wins.

Roy will be able to hit some outside shots, but he has lost his lift, and on defense he will be a huge liability, as players will drive right past him. If he plays for another team, he will not be a consistent asset, only perhaps a flash in the pan once in a while.

Jordan 6, Kobe 5, Durrant.....?. Why do people always say you need to have a big man to win championships?

I remember KP's quote, almost verbatim when he drafted Oden...."I can see Durrant winning some scoring championships, but you win NBA championships with big players like Oden." I said at the time that is was stupid, and like passing up on Michael Jordan again. Everyone said I was wrong.....I guess I finally am vindicated.

His predraft interview was horrible. When asked, he couldn't even name a single player on the Blazers. He seemed flippant, almost like Carmelo Anthony, whom I can't stand. My golden gut says pass on this guy.

And why again is it that one coach can't out coach another? There is no evidence, nor logic to your assertion. In fact, it is easy to provide demonstrable proof to the contrary. Simply watch a game tape, evaluate substitutions and play calls in light of the game situation and you can easily evaluate it.

You claim is like saying "one rich man can't have more money than another rich man. Anytime they are rich means they have a lot of money so one can't have more than the other."

John,
How do we know you didn't just make all of this up? Don't you ever document your work or site legitimate, non-unanimous sources?

There is no controversy. It is often good when the underlings don't agree. That means they are thinking for themselves. The final decision goes to the owner. That is all there is to it. Normal procedure does not mean scandal, unless you are John Conzano making things up.
